12 ways to comfort your spouse during her period

It is normal for women to have
emotional imbalance and mood swings whenever they are experiencing their period
of monthly flow. This is the more reason why as a man, you need to try as much
as possible to understand, adopt and most especially comfort them during these
periods. It just for some few days within a month, so making them happy and
comfortable should not be a big deal. How many of you men think i am right?

Do you need help with adequate
knowledge on how the ways you can comfort and make your woman feel better when
she is on her period? Most men do. In this post, i will be giving out some
quick guide you can easily follow. Read on!

The way your girlfriend can
transform either into a godzilla or a lost puppy when on her period. Even if
you are the most patient boyfriend ever, you may just want to hide when Aunt
flow (her monthly flow) visits, but that should not really be the best step to
take. No matter how irritated your spouse is, she simply needs you around her.
Instead of panicking when she is on her period, show her that you care enough
and try your best to comfort her. Here are tips on how you can make her feel
better. Here are 12 tried and tested tips you can offer a lady to alleviate her
menstrual pain.

1. Do not
blame anything on her period

You may be right about her
crankiness, terrible mood swings and bad mood being caused to her period, but
NEVER say that out loud! Be sensitive. This is a biological process which
affects her behaviour and pointing out her body as the troublemaker will only
make things worse! You will end up making her feel blamed for hormonal
upheaval.

2. Do not sit
down to discuss menstruation

Dear men, a woman perfectly knows
what is going on with her body. So do not make the mistake of advising her
about her condition and behaviour unless you are a doctor. Once she starts
explaining intricate details about what is going on down there, you will be the
one cringing. So, it is best to avoid the topic altogether.

3. Avoid
telling her anything that can irritate her

Your spouse may usually be a
rational and easygoing person, but when she is on her period, she may not
respond with the same casualness as on a regular day. So before you tell her
about your honest opinion on one of her all time favourite movies or casually
mention an out of town trip with just the guys, consider telling her about it
when she is no longer as moody. Anything that might suggest the slightest hint
of annoyance can turn into full-blown anger when she is already dealing with
hormones. Hence, it is best to keep the conversation light and soothing, at
least until she is done with her period. Did you know periods could be as
painful as heart attacks?

4. Answer
questions with care

If she is bombarding you with
irrational questions which have no definitive answer, think twice before
responding, as her reaction may range from a barrage of angry words to even
break up threats. Think to yourself, is now a good time to be honest or shall I
try to give her the answer she wants? Your chances of surviving the day without
conflict will be higher if you let her hear what she wants to hear.

5. Be as patient
as you can possibly be

Be compassionate towards her
feelings. This state is temporary and she is going to be back to her great self
in a few days. When those unending word-battles ensue, simply keep in mind that
you are the one she is venting out everything to because you are her own and
she feels totally at home with you. Muster up all your patience for those days
of the month, and try to be some extra nice if possible.

6. Prepare
food for her

Losing blood and feeling bloated
can be pretty exhausting. But it can drain so much of a woman’s energy that she
will be too tired to prepare a meal. One of the best things you can do for her
is prepare her favorite food and keep her hydrated. Sometimes women on their
period may start to have unusual cravings. Ask her what she would like and get
it for her. It will not only make her feel special, but also comfort her
thoroughly.

7. Watch a
movie with her

Those period cramps are painful
as hell. To distract her from the discomfort, spend some quality time together.
Watch her favourite movie and do not forget the popcorn! Just to be on the safe
side, avoid anything too tragic or heavily emotional.

Show her that you are not grossed
out by the very thought of her menstrual cycle even if you don't feel
comfortable with it at first. If she tries to talk to you about it, do not make
faces or say "go talk to one of your girlfriends". This will just
make her feel like you do not care. Another part of this step is to be willing
to run errands for her. Go get her the supplies she is out of, (thinking of
sanitary items as "girl stuff" is immature and unhelpful) and pick
her up some chocolate or her favorite magazine while you are at it! It will
make her feel like you really care.

9. Make her
feel loved and appreciated

Let her know how happy you are to
have her in your life. Tell her she is a great friend, girlfriend, or wife. If
she is at work or away from you, call her cellphone, work phone or email them
and tell her how beautiful, sweet and all-round awesome she is. It is not even
describable how nice it is for a person to do this. Do not go over the top her
if she is snappy and irritable from the mood swings. Here are expert tips to
exercise during that time of the month.

10. Help her
out with things

If she has any little chores or
errands to do, help her out. Take the stress off of her by doing the dishes or
taking her things down to the laundry. This will help lift some weight from her
shoulders and give her time to relax. Keep in mind she may not just have little
or chores. Women who work for a living and run a family of kids and pets and
everything else have periods too and HAVE to cope.

11. Be
considerate and comforting

Do NOT coerce her into getting
intimate if you notice even the slightest hint of discomfort. This will not
only irritate and upset her, but also showcase you as a selfish individual. Be
considerate and respect her feelings. Have her sit down and give her a massage
or give her a warm hug. Even a comforting arm rub might make her feel better
and will at least show you care.

12. Be there
for her

Hold her when she wants to lean on
you. Simply letting her sleep in your arms can make her feel comfortable. Just
being there and being sweet makes anyone feel better. Make her realize that you
are there for her through thick and thin. Engage in some foreplay to ease her
up only if she is comfortable with it. But if she wants some space and wants to
be left alone, give her the privilege.

When she is on her period, just
keep in mind that this would only last for a couple of days. During those couple
of days, treat her like a queen and try to do that with a smile on your face.
She will definitely remember how nice you were to her during those days, and
that’s always a plus in any relationship. Feel free to share this information
to your family and loved ones. Thanks for reading!
